TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Over the years I have worked my way up from Preschool to Kindergarten to 1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade. I've been in third grade for 9 years and simply adore teaching this age. My experiences have included inner-city and neighborhood schools in the suburbs. I've loved both for different reasons.
In addition to teaching, blogging, and creating resources I also enjoy consulting with teachers on classroom organization, management and classroom decor. I have presented for SDE on those topics. I also conduct workshops and professional developments on Guided Math.
I have been part of TPT since soon after my twins were born. I initially found myself giving the site a try because I was so worried about how we were going to make ends meet with the addition of TWO babies. I was not sure what to expect at the time, but never imagined the joy and opportunities it would afford me. I will forever view the day I signed up as being one of the best things I have ever done.
Teachers Pay Teachers has been an absolute gift to me. It has provided me with a creative outlet, allowed me to be a part of students' education around the globe and let me connect with so many amazing people. It keeps my passion for all things education going, pushes me to stay on top of trends and best practices and greatly rewards me for my time and hard work in so many ways.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I strive to create an organized classroom environment in which the students are able to be independent learners. It thrills me beyond words when a sub leaves me a note that reads, "The room runs itself." That's my goal. :)
